CO2 lasers precisely remove thin layers of skin and effectively minimize scars, warts, and deep wrinkles in addition to poor texture and hyperpigmentation. While the laser ablates the outer layer of skin, the laser energy also heats the dermis (middle layer of skin) in order to promote collagen production.

Do you love the idea of getting a full laser facial, but can’t fit the downtime into your schedule? If you’re looking for a fast treatment with great results, we’d like to introduce you to the CoolPeel laser. In Toledo, Blush Aesthetics is one of the top providers of this advanced CO2 laser facial. Our founder is among one of the top providers in the country when it comes to combined treatment protocols, and even helps premium laser technology companies run clinical trials to find the most effective treatment regimens before national release!
Specifically, CO2 lasers precisely remove thin layers of skin and effectively minimize scars, warts, and deep wrinkles in addition to poor texture and hyperpigmentation.
What happens after treatment with the CoolPeel laser?
After treatment, your skin will likely be a little red and sensitive, but it shouldn’t stop you from getting back to your day (just protect yourself from the sun). Your skin may be a little scaly and dry for a few days as it heals, so we’ll make sure you have what you need to keep it hydrated. Most of our clients see the best results after 2 or 3 CoolPeel laser treatments.
How it Works
01. Consultation
An optional consultation can be super helpful for getting to know you and your goals! We start with a health history, skin analysis, and discussion of your current skincare regimen.
02. Determine Treatment
Based on your skin type and tone, as well as how quickly you are looking to meet your goals, we will build a custom treatment plan for you. If you're ready for a CoolPeel, we can get started the same day!
03. Treatment
While you lay back and relax, your provider applies the CoolPeel device to your treatment area. Unlike traditional CO2 lasers, CoolPeel is comfortable and can be completed in under 30 minutes in some cases!
04. After Care
As with any light or laser therapy, after your CoolPeel treatment you'll want to avoid the sun. In most cases, you can apply makeup immediately after treatment, but your provider will ensure you know what to expect for photofacial after-care.
The Science Behind Smooth Skin
At Blush Aesthetics, our skin treatments using the CoolPeel CO2 laser in Toledo do more than resurface the skin’s outer layers. Instead, the device’s laser energy remodels tissue internally to firm your skin for changes you can see and feel.
The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel laser utilizes patented H-Pulse (High-Peak Power) technology to create laser pulses less than a millisecond long. This effectively targets dull, damaged tissue while protecting the surrounding skin from unnecessary heat damage—hence the name CoolPeel.

Not Your Average Laser
Our CoolPeel laser in Toledo isn’t like other lasers. This advanced system pulses CO2 energy past the epidermis, gently removing the outermost layer of skin, and into the dermis to stimulate collagen production. Plus, thanks to the built-in cooling technology, it does it all without you having to feel the heat. “Beauty is pain” doesn’t apply here!
Why Collagen Is Important
Collagen proteins are the building blocks of your skin. Over the years, your body produces less and less collagen, slowly deteriorating your skin’s internal frameworks and making it more prone to superficial damage and aging.
We use CoolPeel technology to restore your skin’s resiliency from every angle. We force your skin into healing by creating controlled “micro-injuries” to the surface. Those tiny injuries create “micro-channels” into the deeper layers of your skin, where it produces collagen and elastin (fibers that allow your skin to stretch).
Traditional CO2 lasers take weeks of scabbing and peeling to reveal new, radiant skin, but our Tetra CO2 laser works differently. These unique laser beams work through precise columns in your skin, leaving the surrounding healthy tissue unharmed. This speeds up the natural healing process, replacing old, damaged skin cells with new, healthy, collagen-rich cells.
Customizing Cool Technology
During your consultation, we’ll use advanced VISIA® imaging technology to inspect your skin on a more detailed level, eliminating guesswork. Then, our skin specialists will use our findings, and your input, to tailor our techniques.
Depending on the nature and severity of your skin concerns, we’ll adjust the energy levels and pulse duration. We control where and how long the laser pulses for, so we can precisely target your concerns at the source through a layered approach. No two patients’ experiences with our CoolPeel laser in Toledo are exactly alike because no two patients are exactly alike.
Rediscovering Your Radiance
While incorporating exfoliation into your at-home skincare routine is important, even the best products can’t work as deeply as a CoolPeel laser. CO2 laser resurfacing goes beyond buffing away dead skin cells to visibly improve your complexion, replacing those old cells with new and improved ones; no scrub compares. From sun spots to general dullness, we use CoolPeel technology to rid your skin of concerns clouding your glow.
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Resurfacing
After undergoing a CoolPeel laser resurfacing, most patients only see a day or two of redness followed by a few days of sandpapery skin. After that, the healthy new skin begins to emerge in all its rejuvenated, youthful glory. The whole process takes between 2 to 8 weeks.
With advances in technology and the growing expertise of laser technicians, ethnic skin types have safe access to laser skin resurfacing from a skilled provider. Wherever you fall on the Fitzpatrick scale, you want to go to a qualified source for your laser treatments.
Whether you undergo one or several treatments, results from your CoolPeel resurfacing can last for years with proper at-home skincare and maintenance. While the increased collagen production triggered by the laser isn’t permanent, it does create lasting restorative benefits. Our team has the knowledge and products to help you enhance and maintain the results of your CO2 laser resurfacing.
Our skin specialists recommend taking a few simple steps to maximize your results from CO2 laser resurfacing, focusing on keeping your skin protected and nourished in preparation. It’s important to keep your skin hydrated in the weeks before your appointment, both internally by drinking water and externally with daily moisturizers. It’s best to avoid UV exposure for at least 4 weeks, but remember to apply SPF 30 or above if you need to spend time outside.
At least a week before your session, stop using harsh skincare products such as retinol. You should also refrain from irritating your skin through hair removal methods, such as waxing or laser hair removal, for at least one week. Your provider will review your medication usage with you before your visit, so remember to follow their directions closely for avoiding blood-thinners.
Immediately after using the CoolPeel laser in Toledo, your provider will walk you through detailed dos and don’ts to follow during the short healing process. Hydration is just as important for recovery as it is for preparation, so continue using gentle moisturizers and drinking plenty of water. Your Blush provider will send you home with post-care products to make adjusting your routine for recovery simple! However, remember to wait at least 24 hours before applying any skincare products.
We recommend using a clean, cool washcloth to alleviate any minor swelling or redness over the following days, as well as sleeping with your head elevated. Avoid touching, rubbing, or picking at your skin for the next few days, allowing your skin to heal independently. It’s important to avoid excessive heat and sweating from exercise, hot tubs, or saunas for at least 48 hours. While you should limit your sun exposure for the next 4 weeks, remember to always apply SPF 30 sunscreen (or above) before going outside. If you have any questions throughout the brief healing process, don’t hesitate to reach out! That’s what we’re here for.
Every laser works differently, falling into one of two main types: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers “ablate” or remove the outermost layers of your skin by vaporizing them. Non-ablative lasers do not remove skin, but rather work internally to trigger collagen production by generating heat.
As a unique hybrid fractional laser, our Tetra CO2 laser blends these approaches. While it removes surface-level layers of damaged skin, it does so in small sections to leave healthy tissue unharmed, minimizing downtime. Meanwhile, it works internally to ramp up collagen production, so you can enjoy all of the benefits without the hassle.
Our patients say that a CoolPeel treatment, which typically takes less than 20 minutes, is not painful. However, we offer topical numbing cream to ensure the most comfortable experience. Beyond our specialists’ expertise, our state-of-the-art system’s built-in cooling applications monitor your skin’s temperature to maintain a safe yet effective level, adjusting the intensity of the laser as needed. While you won’t feel heat during your session, you may experience a slight tingling sensation as it works its magic beneath the surface of your skin.
Following your provider’s preparation and recovery guidelines is key to maximizing your results from our CoolPeel laser in Toledo. While you can expect to notice improvements to your complexion after a single session, we may recommend a series of sessions, depending on your specific situation and goals. For example, a patient struggling with deeper-set wrinkles or acne scars may require more CoolPeel treatments than a patient struggling with minor, surface-level sun damage.
Remember, your results will continue to build for weeks after treatment as your collagen levels continue to rise. Patience pays off.
We recommend that every patient make the switch from drugstore to medical-grade skin care to maximize their investment from in-office treatments and their overall skin health. Our collection of clinically proven formulas contains pure active ingredients, going beyond what drugstore products can do. Our skin specialists will help you optimize your skincare routine, but remember that it may look a bit different for the first few days after your CoolPeel, as gentle hydration is the priority during the healing process.

Pair CoolPeel With These Complementary Treatments
Botox, and similar wrinkle-relaxers Dysport and Xeomin, address dynamic wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles. Repeated facial expressions—like smiling, frowning, squinting, or furrowing the brows—flex and fold the overlying skin.
Gradually, these creases become etched into the skin, creating lines that appear even when the face is at rest. When Botox relaxes those muscles, the lines fade as the movement causing them diminishes.
On the other hand, CoolPeel addresses static wrinkles that remain visible even when you relax your face. By removing damaged cells, this laser reveals more healthy skin, minimizing the appearance of permanent folds and wrinkles.
We recommend combining our CoolPeel CO2 laser in Toledo with Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin to address both types of wrinkles and to create a youthful, revitalized appearance.
The BBL HERO addresses unwanted pigmentation through broad-spectrum light. Instead of laser treatments, which use a single wavelength for focused rejuvenation, BBL photofacials address a variety of skincare concerns through a range of light.
This device uses High Energy Rapid Output (HERO) technology to break apart large pigment clusters, collapse unwanted facial veins, and soothe active acne.
While the Tetra CO2 CoolPeel can minimize unwanted pigmentation, pairing it with BBL allows CoolPeel treatment to focus on refining skin texture. By removing the uppermost layer of dry, rough skin, CoolPeel encourages the body to produce new collagen fibers to strengthen skin.
At Blush, this hybrid protocol is one of our most popular combination treatments. Because both devices minimize excess heat to the surrounding skin, we can safely layer these modalities for comprehensive texture and tone refinement.
The result? Smoother, more even skin.
Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm, Versa, and Radiesse, minimize static wrinkles visible even when your face is at rest. These cosmetic injectables physically “fill” hollow areas of the face, plumping the tissue to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
CoolPeel encourages the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, providing the skin with structure and elasticity. This restores youthful density and firmness to the tissue, smoothing visible signs of aging such as deep-set wrinkles and creases.
We recommend pairing dermal fillers with our CO2 laser in Toledo to rejuvenate the skin both inside and out. While CoolPeel gently resurfaces your complexion, dermal fillers provide immediate internal support, creating a unified appearance of youth and vitality.
Skincare doesn’t stop after your CoolPeel session. Invest in our curated range of medical-grade skincare products to support your skin between appointments and prolong your enhancements.
Our specialists recommend pairing our CO2 laser in Toledo with our exclusive, in-house Blush Aesthetics skincare line. Together you and your provider assess your skin’s condition and curate a personalized skincare regimen that supports the skin’s healing process, encourages continued collagen production, and protects healthy tissue from environmental and UV damage.
Why choose Blush? We only recommend clinically proven products that contain higher levels of active ingredients than their drugstore counterparts. Designed to target specific concerns efficiently and effectively, our medical-grade skincare supports your skin’s long-term health.
RF microneedling with the Lutronic Genius device combines traditional microneedling techniques with targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy to deeply remodel skin.
Dozens of gold-plated, hypoallergenic needles penetrate the skin to stimulate the body’s healing process. Simultaneously, RF waves gently heat deeper tissue to encourage comprehensive rejuvenation.
To complement that deep rejuvenation, CoolPeel focuses treatment on the upper skin layers, removing damaged cells.
Combining these treatments remodels the skin from the inside out, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The results? Visibly smoother, softer skin supported by an enhanced internal framework.
